Lately my approx 14-16 week old kitten, Sweetie, has been interested in excessive biting of my hands (ouch!) and wires in my room. The hand biting will most likely tone down as she gets older and more laid back, I assume, because bopping her on the nose and saying "no" firmly only makes her mad. What I'm really worried about is wires. I have a computer, television, and many other wires in my room that are just ASKING for her to bite right through. I'm worried about her health as well as my possessions.
I'm completely broke, so are there any remedies that any of you have tried to keep your cats off of wires? I've tried my little hand-vaccuum to scare her away when she starts playing with stuff like that, but she just sneaks back to it later. I've done all I can to block off areas with wires, but some areas just can't be fully covered, not to mention she's learning to simply climb right over obstacles I've placed in her way.
Sweetie is a fairly affectionate kitten when she's sleepy or calm, and tends to love to be pet and cuddled at night when I go to bed (she usually sleeps darn near right on my head!), but this hand and wire biting has got to stop!
